Biosynthesis of PGD 2 , PGE 2 and PGF 2α in four species of freshwter fish, Tilapia mossambica, Cyprinus carpio, Heteropneustes fossilis and Clarius batrichus was studied. Both arachidonic acid and PGH 2 were used as substrates. When PGH 2 replaced arachidonic acid in the enzymic reaction, there was a 3‐ to 4‐fold increase in PGE 2 synthesis, but no such increase in the synthesis of PGF 2α and PGD 2 was observed.
